BEng Civil Engineering

Buckinghamshire New University

Course overview

The BEng Civil Engineering course teaches students how to design, build, and maintain important structures like buildings, roads, and bridges. It focuses on making these projects sustainable and using new ideas. This course helps students find solutions and learn about how structures stand up, how soil works, transport systems, environmental issues, and solutions for global challenges, such as climate change and making cities smarter.

Students will learn by doing practical projects, working in labs, and doing group tasks. This helps students to use what they learn in real-world situations and improve their thinking and project skills. Students will be graded through written work, reports, digital models, tests, and presentations. The university has excellent facilities, including labs for testing materials and a Virtual Reality CAD Lab. You can also choose to do an optional year working in a company to gain valuable experience.
